The 25-year-old joins the Blues as their fourth summer addition, joining Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, and Marc Guiu.
With 12 goals and 14 assists during Leicester’s Championship-winning campaign, Dewsbury-Hall was a key player for former boss Enzo Maresca, who is also moving to Stamford Bridge this summer.
It is anticipated that the transfer will help Leicester substantially in fulfilling Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), though it is not yet known if the team will be completely compliant.
Dewsbury-Hall joined Leicester City at the age of eight, therefore his 17-year relationship with the team comes to an end with his departure.
He reflected on his time with the Foxes and showed his gratitude in an emotional parting letter on Instagram.
So what can I say, he said? What a trip it has been. I’ve spent the last seventeen years of my life in this club, and I enjoy it. I’ve had an incredible time with this football team and have made some lifelong friends and memories that I will never forget.
In addition, the midfield player talked on Leicester’s recent relegation and subsequent promotion, saying, “I felt personally responsible for my part played in that when we were relegated in the 2022/23 season.” I set out to make sure we returned to the Premier League within the first season because I understand the devastation that can result for a team in that situation.
Dewsbury-Hall praised the supporters and expressed gratitude for the team’s accomplishments from the previous season.
The sheer volume of letters I have gotten over the last several days has truly moved me, and my family and I are very grateful to each and every one of you for taking the time to write one. Leicester, I’m one of your own. However, I have to leave now,” he remarked.V
